And I'm hoping Rice is rattled.

So the Manager who gave him a 2 year deal doesn't rate him, seems strange to me but you'll know better.

Aye, I don't think he was dropped because of performance, I don't think he dropped any clangers really, maybe Marv just wanted his planned No 1 Botterill back in rather than a loanee. Botterill only lost his place because of suspension tbf.

Roy started off well with us tbf, it didn't last. He did drop out with an injury and struggled to get his place back, he probably got pissed off watching Innes bloody Cameron prance about doing F-all.

Not unlike a lot of grounds at this level then so nothing out the ordinary.

Just thinking about comments from Falkirk fans on here, and not wanting to attract undue criticism or open a can of worms, but there seems to be a lack of complaints about off field issues like ticketing, catering, dirty seats, etc., it would be nice to think the Club handled things well, which won't sit well with some Queens posters on here.

Aye, thought the lino was a bit behind play to get a definite view.

We played well against Motherwell in the LC, but yesterday was our best league performance by a distance, which makes our home performances against Alloa, Montrose, Stirling and Cove all the more frustrating, plus Kelty away. Agree that Morrison was probably a big miss for you, quite glad he was unavailable.

It's been baffling for a few seasons now imo, we seem to pick up more injuries at training than in competitive matches. Not sure if stats actually back this up mind.

Must say I'm surprised and happy about that performance today, but fizzing that we haven't put in anywhere near the same effort and fight against other teams. No real failures today, Botterill and Ambrose had a couple of shaky moments, McClelland did what McClelland does and gave away a needless foul leading to the Falkirk goal which came courtesy of a free header, but overall a more than decent team showing. Shows what can be done if you're prepared to battle for the ball, something that has been sadly lacking in most games. I thought MacIntyre was Queens' MoM, he certainly dispelled any ideas I had that he wasn't up to this level, likewise Ferguson who battled away in midfield. Marvin and the players have taken some (deserved) stick so praise where it's due. About the only thing that bugged me, and Falkirk fans probably, was Botterill's time wasting, I can't understand why he would do that when you're team's drawing at home and in with a fair chance of winning the game, and we do need to start picking up wins, it's not like we were backs to the wall defending. Both teams actually deserve credit for putting on a good open game. Well done also to Falkirk fans for helping to create a great atmosphere, and for the £NB, I hope we're up nearer you in the table the next time we meet.

Talking about games that were played half a century ago on a specific match thread is hardly relevant. No problem discussing it on the Queens thread or make a Down Memory Lane thread. You're usually the first to get upset about threads going off topic anyway.

About 30 mins to ko and more away fans than home fans in already. Think even more have just had enough.

I take it if Marvin offered to resign that no compensation would be due as he's basically terminated his contract. I think if we're still struggling at the halfway point they'll look at it again.

Bad enough Queens fans turning this match thread into (another) All our Yesterday's without Annan fans chipping in too.

Actually thought he meant Sandra B, QoS Media Interviewer, who seems to give Marv an easy time in interviews.

Noticed you haven't asked the poster who put Wilson's departure squarely at Bartley's door what evidence he has for claiming that was the case, or do you think it was all down to Bartley.

Hopefully Storm Ciaran carries the fall-out Northwards and tidies up Fife a bit. If it comes South by the time it reaches Palmerston it'll just feel like a warming breeze. There will surely be an Emergency plan in place locally anyway, our Tory leaders will want to protect the Jewel in their Crown.

Ftfy.

It's bad enough when we go to TFS to avoid getting a doing at football, now we've got to worry about getting obliterated by an explosion from the Refinery. At least at Palmerston it's only getting dust and bird shit on your clothes that you need to worry about. (or a bad pie)

Probably, like you, I don't know what goes on behind the scenes, the decision to put Wilson out on loan may not have been so one sided.

After other people suggested them. Did you think of them before that.

Who are you suggesting as alternatives.

If our poor form continues and home crowds diminish the away support will get as many seats as they want in the East Stand. I think the Terregles St. terrace (or part of it anyway ) is ok to use, just never had sufficient visiting numbers to make it worthwhile opening it I would imagine. Obviously would mean temp toilets and catering facility to be provided. Unless your bringing down more than 900 or so then the East Stand should be sufficient.

Have you looked at the league and form tables, we've got plenty to be pessimistic about. It's quite galling that we often do give more fancied teams a challenge which makes it all the more maddening that we can't do better against teams around us. As 19QOS19 says, would much rather it was an away fixture, our home form is embarrassing.

Home or away, doesn't matter to Marv, we play the same cautious style. I'll be pleasantly surprised, nay gobsmacked, if we get a point from this. If its close, get money on us losing a goal in the last 10 minutes. Hoping for plenty of navy blue pounds to go towards Marv's pay-off compo if things don't improve quickly.
